! . DEAR 13-Year-old Self! . DO NOT BOTHER TO LEARN HOW TO READ! . In the long run, getting an education will only cause you pain! . It will only give you unachievable ambitions that will break your heart and mind! . Instead, Take Drugs, Commit Crime and die happier at 25 (ish ) instead! . Yours Your 48-year-old self! . ! . ! I have a BA in print media and I have worked for as little as 1p a word because I needed the cash some months. . My only way of getting work when I was on Fivver, sometimes, is by ruthlessly undercutting those unlucky enough to be working further south where everything is far more expensive! . The value of a lot of (but not all) further education is a sick joke! . Sometimes I just wish that I could send a letter back in time to my 13-year-old self! ...... !
